bobgee Posted May 13, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 13, 2012 Now, THAT was an Air Show! Saw something a few months ago that many of the captured aircraft at Freeman were destroyed and buried there. An aviation archeologist is looking to find and excavate them. Anybody have news about this? Thanks for the link. Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sactroop Posted May 13, 2012 Share #6 Posted May 13, 2012 Thanks! Just seeing the snatch and grab of the CG-4A glider made my day. Everything else priceless. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Posted June 20, 2012 Share #7 Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks! Just seeing the snatch and grab of the CG-4A glider made my day. Everything else priceless. :thumbsup: The military GPs generation was still active then. What is more many people planned to do air cargo business based on a fleet of civilianized cargo gliders. Every postwar air show between 1945 and 1946 was good opportunity to present cargo gliders and their possibilities in spot landing with good GP at the controls. It was a very good marketing action at least for the Winged Cargo, Inc. Also the 13th Annual National Soaring Contest (Elmira, August 3rd to 18th, 1946) had its show of cargo glider snatch. The USAAF presented there its CG-15A and GP Lt Gannon was snatched and then performed the spot landings. For the first time good GP could show how much cargo glider may be precise if flies daylight operation and nobody opens fire to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
